Power Plays in Conn.

O’Neal & Prelle has shut its doors, but two of the Hartford, Conn., agency’s former executives are looking to play roles in the ongoing review for Connecticut’s tourism business, which had long been one of O&P’s signature accounts.
Bill O’Neal, the former chairman of O&P who served with the agency for 20 years before leaving in 1996 to open a consulting firm in Durham, Conn., said he intends to work with an undisclosed shop to win the business.
Michael Kintner, who had been O&P’s president before leaving two months ago, will work with Mintz & Hoke in Avon, Conn.,
